I've been reading through the site and was amazed that there are people like me wandering around all over. I was diagnosed 10-16-2005 with SCC. I've been through the shredder the last few years but I'm getting through it. I just found this site after another one shut down so all my history is on it. But I will try to recollect info and post it.

We welcome you -- tell us your story. This place is a family and we can all relate to one another. We've all gone or are going through OC. I'm a caregiver and some days are very difficult as I watch someone I love go through all this. When I am down, I come here for comfort. Claudia

Welcome to OCF. The shredder is a good description of what we go through isn't it?? I know that you will find support and answers here.

One of the best parts for me is that these are people like me, who understand. I hope that you will share your story with us.
